Cloud Hosting

Reliable cloud hosting solutions powered by

In traditional dedicated hosting environments, your website is limited to a single physical server and relies
on the resources of just one server. With cloud hosting, your website is hosted on multiple connected servers.
This architecture provides increased power, availability and reliability to handle any load size or demand, and
at the same time, allows websites to grow without the normal hardware restrictions of one single physical server.

Cloud Hosting vs. VPS Hosting

Cloud hosting is a cloud of servers and VPS hosting is based on a single server partitioned into insulated
containers. Cloud enables the pooling of large number of separate physical servers together so that they
act like one. As a result, resources are pulled from the pool as well.

From a user standpoint, cloud hosting offers on-demand scalability of resources, something that VPS cannot
offer. With cloud servers, you are able to scale instantly because your data and resources are centralized.
With VPS, scalability is limited by the resource amount used up on the node. For example, server limitations
may make it impossible to scale from 8GB RAM to 36GB RAM on a virtual server, but you can instantly move up
to 128GB RAM on a cloud server. Data is stored locally with VPS hosting, so moving to a new node may cause
downtime.

In addition, hosting on multiple servers provides significant redundancy against downtime. The cloud hosting
architecture offers increased power, availability and reliability to handle any load size or demand, and at
the same time, allows websites to grow without the normal restrictions of a single physical server.
